Today, we're pleased to announce the most recent addition to our scholarship programs, the Google Lime Scholarship for Students with Disabilities. We're partnering with <a href="http://www.limeconnect.com/">Lime</a> to offer scholarships to students with disabilities who are pursuing university degrees in the field of computer science in Canada or the U.S. Lime is a not-for-profit organization that brings together global corporations and people with disabilities, bringing to light an untapped source of talent. Scholarships will be granted for the 2009&#8211;2010 academic year, and recipients will be invited to attend an all-expenses-paid retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain View in 2010.<br /><br />We hope that this program will increase opportunities for students with disabilities and encourage them to pursue careers in computer science. We also hope to foster long-lasting relationships through which these students can support each other over the course of their academic studies.<br /><br />The deadline to apply for this year's Lime Scholarship is June 1, 2009. For complete details, visit <a href="http://www.google.com/jobs/scholarships">www.google.com/jobs/scholarships</a>.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Meghan O'Farrell, Talent and Outreach Programs Specialist </span>

<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(Cross-posted from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=mjTQtrvsAP8">YouTube</a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=mjTQtrvsAP8"> Blog</a>)</span></span><br /><br />Today represents the final culmination of an idea many months in the making: a first-class global orchestra brought together by YouTube. This week, over 90 musicians from around the world -- including a Spanish guitarist, a Dutch harpist and a Lithuanian birbyne player &#8212; have gathered in New York City in preparation for tonight's historic YouTube Symphony Orchestra performance at Carnegie Hall. And today on YouTube's homepage, we are proud to present the world premiere of Tan Dun's composition "Internet Symphony, Eroica," as selected and mashed up from nearly 3,000 video submissions from around the globe.<br /><br />Maestro &#8212; the mash-up, please!<br /><br /><object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oC4FAyg64OI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oC4FAyg64OI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"></embed></object><br /><br />Along with the "Eroica" premiere, we're also posting exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the preparation leading up to tonight's performance. Learn more about the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/symphony">YouTube Symphony Orchestra</a> by watching candid vlogs, early rehearsals with conductor and creative director <a href="http://www.youtube.com/michaeltilsonthomas">Michael Tilson Thomas</a>, and meet-and-greets between the musicians lucky enough to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event. Many thanks to our "Vlog Squad" team of classical musicians (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/alicelizard">Caeli Smith</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jeremydenk">Jeremy Denk</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/eikosudoh">Eiko Sudoh</a>), and to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/gramafilm">Harmony Films</a>, who are currently putting together a full-length documentary on the YouTube Symphony Orchestra.<br /><br />And for those of you who can't make it to New York in time for the big show, don't fret. We'll be posting the full performance from Carnegie Hall on YouTube tomorrow at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/symphony">www.youtube.com/symphony</a>.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Michele Flannery, YouTube Music</span>

<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">From time to time, our own </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://emacspeak.sourceforge.net/raman/">T.V. Raman</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> shares his tips on how to use Google from his perspective as a technologist who cannot see -- tips that sighted people, among others, may also find useful. - Ed.</span></span><br /><br />Google-AxsJAX was launched in late 2007 as a library for access-enabling Web-2.0 applications. Since then, we have released accessibility enhancements for many Web-2.0 applications via the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-axsjax/">AxsJAX site</a> as early experiments that have eventually graduated into full-fledged products. Just recently we <a title="posted" href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/aria-for-google-calendar-finance-and.html" id="o9.g">posted</a> about using the AxsJAX library to provide ARIA enhancements for Google Calendar, Google Finance and Google News. Now we are happy to share an early AxsJAX extension for <a title="Google Moderator" href="http://moderator.appspot.com/" id="v.:0">Google Moderator</a> that enables fluent eyes-free use of the tool.<br /><br />For details about AxsJAX enhancements, see the <a href="http://google-axsjax.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/faq.html">AxsJAX FAQ</a>. Briefly, you need Firefox 3.0 and a screenreader that supports W3C ARIA to take advantage of these enhancements. Users who do not have a screenreader installed can most easily experience the results by installing <a href="http://www.clcworld.net/">Fire Vox</a>, a freely available self-voicing extension for Firefox.<br /><br />You can activate the AxsJAX enhancement for Google Moderator either by clicking on the link that says "Click here for ARIA enhanced Google Moderator" or by <a style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" title="accessing the ARIA-enhanced version directly" href="http://moderator.appspot.com/?axs#16/e=1a26" id="xuh-">accessing the ARIA-enhanced version directly</a>. After enabling the enhancement, you can use Google Moderator via the keyboard, with all user interaction producing spoken feedback via W3C ARIA.<br /><br />Here is a brief overview of the experience:<br /><br />1. The user interface is divided into logical panes &#8212; one listing topic areas, and the other listing questions on a given topic. At times (e.g., before a meeting), you may find an additional <span style="font-style: italic;">Featured Question</span> pane that shows a randomly selected question that you can vote on.<br />2. Users can ask new questions under a given topic, or give a thumbs-up/thumbs-down to questions that have already been asked.<br />3. Use the <u>left</u> and <u>right</u> arrow keys to switch between the two panes. You hear the title of the selected pane as you switch.<br />4. Use <u>up</u> and <u>down</u> arrows to navigate among the items in the selected pane. As you navigate, you hear the current item.<br />5. Hit <u>enter</u> to select the current item.<br />6. The current item can be magnified by repeatedly pressing the <u>+</u> (or <u>=</u>) key. To reduce magnification, press the <u>-</u> key.<br />7. When navigating the questions in a given topic, hit <u>y</u> or <u>n</u> to vote a question up or down.<br />8. When navigating items in the topic pane, hit <u>a</u> to ask a question. Once you confirm your request to post the question, it will show up in the list of questions for that topic so that others can vote that question up or down.<br /><br />Please visit the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/accessible/?pli=1">Google Group for accessibility</a> to provide feedback. This AxsJAX extension is still a work in progress, so we'd love to hear from you as we continue to work out the kinks.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Update on 4/14:</span> Clarified in the second and third paragraphs that you do not need to install this enhancement. You can access it directly from Google Moderator.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Posted by T. V. Raman, Research Scientist, and Charles L. Chen, Software Engineer</span>

Not long ago, a bunch of us in our <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=604+Arizona+Ave%2C+Santa+Monica%2C+CA+%28Google+Santa+Monica%29">Santa Monica office</a> pooled together the money to buy a four-foot by three-foot <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens">Fresnel lens</a>. We've since been spending our lunch hours out in the sun playing with it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5uKQN-J-I/AAAAAAAADm4/59zmvj8XFFk/s1600-h/first+day.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5uKQN-J-I/AAAAAAAADm4/59zmvj8XFFk/s400/first+day.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812932029818850" border="0" /></a><br />A normal lens this big would be several feet thick and weigh a proverbial ton (the right-hand image below). However, it's possible to remove much of the inside of a lens and collapse down the shape without introducing too much distortion (the left-hand image):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5uKD5G5uI/AAAAAAAADmw/J5WwbSqnw6w/s1600-h/401px-Fresnel_lens.svg.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5uKD5G5uI/AAAAAAAADmw/J5WwbSqnw6w/s400/401px-Fresnel_lens.svg.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812928721086178" border="0" /></a>Fresnel (pronounced "freh-NELL") lenses are used in overhead projectors and lighthouses. We've been using ours, however, to see what happens when you focus 1,000 watts of sunlight onto a single point. It's like when you were a kid and tried to burn ants with a pocket magnifying glass &#8212; but 400 times stronger. We built a wooden frame to keep the lens flat and focused, and a stand to hold it steady:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5uKFQqJfI/AAAAAAAADmo/7frK1-D2fy0/s1600-h/alternative+lens+stand+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5uKFQqJfI/AAAAAAAADmo/7frK1-D2fy0/s400/alternative+lens+stand+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812929088300530" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The light in the focal point is so bright that you can't look directly at it without welding goggles.</span></span><br /></div><br />The lens maker claimed you could melt a penny with it, so that was the first thing we tried:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tu1xbLoI/AAAAAAAADmA/0I3XSCdMlNs/s1600-h/pennies.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tu1xbLoI/AAAAAAAADmA/0I3XSCdMlNs/s400/pennies.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812461074296450" border="0" /></a><br />Modern pennies are made of zinc with a copper coating. The bottom row shows what happens when you put a penny in the focal point of the lens: the inside melts away and the coating stays intact (zinc melts at 693 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin">kelvins</a>, copper melts at 1,356 K). But if you heat it just enough, the metals mix and you make brass (the gold-colored penny in the middle). Older pennies (those minted before 1982) are almost entirely copper, so they didn't melt (top row).<br /><br />We also had an aluminum can:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvUGTsCI/AAAAAAAADmY/jh8ibKfXY38/s1600-h/can.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvUGTsCI/AAAAAAAADmY/jh8ibKfXY38/s400/can.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812469214949410" border="0" /></a><br />The water we poured in boiled quickly, while the can itself became so brittle that we poked holes through it with nothing more than sunlight.<br /><br />Then we tried cooking. Popcorn did both what you'd expect and not quite what you'd expect: when you really focus the light on it, it kinda pops but mostly burns. However, if you don't put it directly in the focal point, so the light is spread over a larger area and doesn't heat it up as quickly, you can get a whole bunch of kernels to pop without burning too much.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvPE0KwI/AAAAAAAADmQ/30Ym6ROHCsI/s1600-h/popcorn+cooking.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvPE0KwI/AAAAAAAADmQ/30Ym6ROHCsI/s400/popcorn+cooking.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812467866512130" border="0" /></a><br />The steam/smoke coming up from the kernels really highlighted the spectra from the lens beautifully. Our yield was very low (lots of unpopped kernels for each popped one), but at least we had real popcorn!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvJfDujI/AAAAAAAADmI/TmJCeXO6i-M/s1600-h/finished+popcorn.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvJfDujI/AAAAAAAADmI/TmJCeXO6i-M/s400/finished+popcorn.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812466365970994" border="0" /></a><br />When we tried to cook bacon, about a third ended up well done, a third was burnt, and a third was uncooked. Cooking with the lens is difficult because it heats stuff up too hot too fast. But the well-cooked parts tasted great, so we added an egg:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvjFeMoI/AAAAAAAADmg/M2vkFkSMCXw/s1600-h/bacon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5tvjFeMoI/AAAAAAAADmg/M2vkFkSMCXw/s400/bacon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322812473237975682" border="0" /></a><br />(We didn't lens the spoon; we used it to eat the egg afterwards.)<br /><br />It's been fun experimenting with different lensing techniques and items and we've learned a lot (including where the nearest fire extinguisher is!). These are just the highlights &#8212; we've lensed gourds, soap, gummy bears, CDs &#8212; you name it. Next on our list: marshmallows!<br /><br />We've got more details and more pictures of our results on <a href="http://big-bad-al.livejournal.com/103588.html">Alan's personal blog</a>. If you have ideas of other things we should try lensing, we'd love to hear suggestions.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Alan Davidson and Dustin Boswell, Software Engineers</span>

<span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">This is the next post in our <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/diversity">Interface series</a>, which takes a look at valuing people's similarities and differences in the workplace. For more information on how Google fosters an inclusive work environment, visit <a href="http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=about.html">Life at Google</a> on our Jobs site. &#8211; Ed.</span></span><br /><br />Since joining Mosaic, our diversity initiatives group in the <a href="http://maps.google.com/?q=5+Cambridge+Center%2C+Cambridge%2C+MA+%28Google+Cambridge%29">Boston office</a>, we've seen firsthand how even a small group of Googlers dedicated to a cause can make a real difference. Mosaic was created in 2007 when a few Boston Googlers were talking informally over lunch about how to increase the diversity in our rapidly growing office. Since then, we've made great strides in growing our membership and highlighting the creativity and varied experiences of our colleagues. The idea even spread to other Google offices, with several Mosaic chapters opening across the U.S.<br /><br />Over the past year, Mosaic Boston has participated in Google's university recruitment efforts by holding three open houses to encourage traditionally underrepresented students from the Boston area to apply for careers at Google.  This past summer, we hosted two enthusiastic interns as part of <a href="http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/static.py?page=bold.html">Google's BOLD</a> (Building Opportunities for Leadership &amp; Development) diversity internship program to explore opportunities in the technology industry. We watched their leadership skills grow as they organized events such as a career panel and product demos for high school students through Mosaic.<br /><br />Most recently, we co-hosted a lunch-and-learn with esteemed Harvard Business School professor <a href="http://drfd.hbs.edu/fit/public/facultyInfo.do?facInfo=bio&amp;facEmId=dthomas">David Thomas</a>, co-author of "Breaking Through: The Making of Minority Executives in Corporate America." Down-to-earth and engaging, Professor Thomas presented his findings about minorities and women who had "made it" in corporate America, stressing the need to build wide networks of support, find strong mentors and develop a niche within a company that meshes with one's personal values. His message reminded us of how important it is for Mosaic to provide these opportunities for our own community here at Google. You can <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGPyU1cJAaM">watch the video</a> from his visit on the Authors@Google YouTube channel.<br /><br />As both Googlers and members of Mosaic, we feel empowered and excited to live out our values in our workplace. To us, this means anything from inviting authors to speak and training non-profits on how to use Google Apps, to throwing a Brazilian Carnaval-themed edition of our weekly company meeting complete with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3B9V0axCpU&amp;feature=channel_page">capoeira performers</a>, caipirinhas, and authentic Brazilian food.  We're excited about what Mosaic has accomplished so far and can't wait to see what's next. In the meantime, we continue to be committed to providing personal and professional growth for the members of our diversity group, as well as doing our part to keep Google an inclusive place to work.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5nJMuV-SI/AAAAAAAADl4/5-dC-N9V22Q/s1600-h/DSCN2341.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sd5nJMuV-SI/AAAAAAAADl4/5-dC-N9V22Q/s400/DSCN2341.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322805217330592034" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Boston Mosaic team with capoeira performers</span></span><br /></div><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Priti Sanghani and Mariam Shaikh, AdWords Account Associates</span>

If you're like us, you never tire of finding fun ways to send a simple message (what's the challenge, after all, in just flipping open your phone?). Here's our latest idea: spell out the words with Google Latitude.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h0GA73O_9O4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h0GA73O_9O4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />After you watch the video, feel free to send your own Latitude message by creating <a href="http://services.google.com/latitudevideo/">a custom video</a> for a friend. You can also check out the <a href="http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2009/04/google-latitude-ftw.html">Google Mobile Blog</a> to learn about some of the other creative ways people are using Latitude.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Heaven Kim, Product Marketing Manager<br /></span>

Last week Google hosted a <a href="http://www.google.com/corporate/green/datacenters/summit.html">Data Center Efficiency Summit</a>, bringing together approximately 160 industry leaders to share insights and best practices.  Since it was April Fool's Day, we threw in a few jokes to keep the atmosphere fun (<a href="http://www.greenm3.com/2009/04/april-fools-joke-googles-oil-tanker-data-center.html">oil-cooled data center</a>, anyone?), but the topic is serious: How can the IT industry keep growing while also exercising good environmental stewardship?<br /><br />We disclosed for the first time details about the design of our <a href="http://www.google.com/corporate/datacenters">ultra-efficient data centers</a>. We also provided a first-ever video tour of a Google <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRwPSFpLX8I">container data center</a> as well as a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPjZvFuUKN8">water treatment facility</a>. We detailed how we measure data center efficiency and discussed how we reduced our facility energy use by up to 85%. The engineers who developed our efficient battery backup solution even brought an actual <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10209580-92.html">Google server</a> to the event.<br /><br />By the end of the day, we narrowed in on a recurring theme: Reducing resource use through efficiency efforts is not just good for the environment, it saves money too. And it is this economic advantage which makes efficient data centers not just green, but truly sustainable.<br /><br />For a tour of a Google container data center check out the video below or watch the entire summit: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho1GEyftpmQ">part 1</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m03vdyCuWS0">part 2</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91I_Ftsd-7s">part 3</a>.<br /><br /><object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zRwPSFpLX8I&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zRwPSFpLX8I&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="340" width="560"></embed></object><br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Jimmy Clidaras, Principal Engineer</span>

Whether you come to YouTube to watch a specific video, discover related content, or engage and interact with people and videos from all around the world, our goal is to put you in control of your online video experience.  This means making it easier for you to find what you're looking for (like dedicated channels for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/music">music</a> or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mphd">HD</a> videos) and offering you new and innovative ways to engage with that content.<br /><br />One way we already offer you this kind of deeper experience on YouTube involves music videos on the site: <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-clicked-to-buy-and-i-liked-it.html">Click-to-Buy</a>, our eCommerce platform, helps you find products (like songs and DVDs) related to the videos that you're watching. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7967908.stm">A recent study</a> found that after watching a music video on YouTube, 50% of adult users in the U.K. then go on to purchase music from that artist. And we've seen these results for ourselves &#8212; three of the four major music labels are Click-to-Buy partners and are already selling millions of songs a year from these links on YouTube.<br /><br />We're excited to announce that today we're rolling out Click-to-Buy links on music videos in 8 additional countries: Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, and Sweden. Now Click-to-Buy partners can offer music downloads to hundreds of millions of people around the world.<br /><br />We enjoy working with our music partners to provide them with these kinds of opportunities, and we look forward to further expanding the program in the coming months.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Thai Tran, YouTube Product Manager</span>

No one likes to take work home, but lately I've been looking forward to it. That's because I've been working on our new color filter in <a href="http://images.google.com/">Google Image Search</a>, and my daughter and I have been having a great time together looking at all the colorful animals that we've seen in the tide pools. "Papa, do the <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=sea+anemone&amp;imgcolor=green">green noodle fish</a>."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sdzc3xbjtgI/AAAAAAAADkU/quzmvNdikhw/s1600-h/sea_anemone_green.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 88px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sdzc3xbjtgI/AAAAAAAADkU/quzmvNdikhw/s400/sea_anemone_green.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322371710364923394" /></a><br />"Papa, now do the <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=sea+anemone&amp;imgcolor=red">red one</a>."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sdzc30rgrCI/AAAAAAAADkc/blJWVtRotCs/s1600-h/sea_anemone_red.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 95px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZYqYi4xigk/Sdzc30rgrCI/AAAAAAAADkc/blJWVtRotCs/s400/sea_anemone_red.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322371711237139490" /></a><br />She loves it.<br /><br />Today, I'm happy to announce that you too can use our color filter in your own image searches. Just search for something the way you normally would, such as [<a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=tulips">tulips</a>]. On the results page, click on the "All colors" drop down in the blue bar and choose a color. For example, try restricting your results to [<a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=tulips&amp;imgcolor=yellow">yellow tulips</a>]. Want to see purple tulips instead? Simply click on the color filter again, select purple, and <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=tulips&amp;imgcolor=purple">voila</a> &#8212; you have pages of beautiful images!<br /><br />You can also combine the color filter with any other image filter to further refine your search. For example, if you're looking for an image of an orange butterfly, try restricting to <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=butterfly&amp;imgcolor=orange&amp;imgtype=photo">photos</a> or <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=butterfly&amp;imgcolor=orange&amp;imgtype=clipart">clip art</a>.<br /><br />Color is one of the basic visual elements of an image. Whether you're browsing through photos of sea creatures and flowers or searching for the perfect orange butterfly, we hope you like our new color filter. We've been rolling this out gradually, but it will be available to everyone soon.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Donald Tanguay, Software Engineer</span>

Scarcity brings clarity, and many companies are taking important steps to adjust to today's economic climate.&#160;At Google, we've started changing the way we build and release products.<br /><br />In the past six months alone we've launched nearly 50 projects and small products on <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine">Google App Engine</a> -- from <a href="http://moderator.appspot.com/">Google Moderator</a> and <a href="http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2008/10/when-we-find-tools-that-work-well-for.html">Labs for Google Apps</a> to internal-facing tools for both our Ads and Web teams. In all cases we found it quicker, easier, and more cost-effective to leave the infrastructure to App Engine, and the actual product-building to our engineering teams.<br /><br />Running our internal and external apps on App Engine isn't without difficulty, however, and we've learned a lot in the process. Tonight at <a href="http://code.google.com/campfire">Campfire One</a> we released a new set of features -- based on community and internal feedback -- that helps App Engine interface more easily with businesses' existing technologies:<br /><ul><li>App Engine's <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/gettingstarted/">early look at Java&#8482; language support</a> includes a Java runtime, integration with the new <a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit">Google Web Toolkit 1.6</a>, and a <a href="http://code.google.com/eclipse/">Google Plugin for Eclipse</a></li><li>The <a href="http://code.google.com/securedataconnector/">Google Secure Data Connector</a> enables centrally-managed access to on-premise data from Google Apps</li><li>The <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata.html">database import tool</a> makes it easier to move gigabytes of data into App Engine (and export functionality is coming within the month)</li><li><a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/cron.html">Cron support</a> can execute scheduled tasks like report generation and DB clean-up at regular intervals</li></ul>By reducing the administrative headaches that come with scaling and distributing an application, we hope that App Engine will continue to let developers do what they do best: launch services that delight users.<br /><br />Take a look at videos from tonight's Campfire One below:<br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p/DFDBB63922B90A70&amp;hl=en"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p/DFDBB63922B90A70&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />To learn more about Google App Engine or today's announcements, feel free to check out the <a href="http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-features-for-app-engine-announced.html">Google Code Blog</a> or <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/docs">online docs</a>. You can also register for our annual developer conference, <a href="http://code.google.com/events/io#utm_source=googleblog&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=io2009_campfire">Google I/O</a>, as the App Engine team will be there to answer any questions you might have, as well as unveil a few surprises.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:x-small;">Java is a trademark or registered trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the United States and other countries.</span></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Update at 10:44 pm PDT:</span> We've just added the videos from tonight's Campfire One.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Kevin Gibbs, Tech Lead, Google App Engine</span>
